ECS Connection Manager Hardware

DATA SHEET

Scalable high-performance application delivery

Kemp ECS Connection Manager offers the scalability, feature depth and security required to
enable resilient delivery of a wide range of application workloads for organizations of all sizes and
capabilities. ECS Connection Manager simplifies Dell ECS application delivery with easy management
via web UI, API and Kemp 360 Central with a compelling TCO and outstanding customer support.

Benefits of Kemp ECS Connection Manager

Multi-network Access
ECS Connection Manager provides transparent access to ECS from multiple networks while
maintaining security and existing network addressing.

ECS Optimized QoS (Quality of Service)

Apply QoS to any ECS resource (bucket, URI) to ensure optimal performance of critical applications
and protect against traffic storms and ‘noisy neighbors’.

Secure using TLS 1.3

ECS Connection Manager provides the latest and most robust security by enabling TLS 1.3 security
without any impact on ECS infrastructure.

Concurrent IPv6 and IPv4

ECS Connection Manager allows IPv6 and IPv4 co-existence with IPv6 to IPv4 gateway/proxy using
a NIST IPv6 Ready network stack as required by federal customers.

SSL Offload
ECS Connection Manager simplifies the management of certificates and security policies while also
reducing the security overheads on the ECS infrastructure.

Route based on DNS query source

Optimize traffic routing by using the source subnet of the client where provided via EDNS
(Extensions for DNS). Client traffic can now be mapped to specific storage locations to provide
fine-grained control to support use cases such as localized in-rack traffic steering and routing ISP/
customer networks to dedicated storage.

Seamless VDC failover
ECS Connection Manager provides support for multi-site VDC environments with totally transparent
failover and recovery in the event of a VDC outage with dynamic host resolution. Support up to 256
storage IP addresses on a single FQDN.

Purpose built ECS S3 traffic steering

Intelligently deliver traffic to the S3 location that can best service the requests including storage
using XOR optimizations.

ECS S3 Health Checking

S3 optimized detection of outages and service degradation with redirection of traffic to resources
that can service requests.

Hybrid path and host addressing

Concurrent support of S3 ‘Path Style’ and ‘Host’ addressing enabling support of multiple applications
using different addressing against the same storage objects.

Support Subscriptions
ECS Connection Manager support subscription offers flexibility, simplicity and value to meet your
application delivery requirements and challenges. The ECS support subscriptions are mapped to
common customer challenges and requirements and include multiyear support options.

Support subscription options include single or multi-year support and offer the benefits mentioned
previously as well as the following of features and services:

• 24x7 Customer Support
